That’s what kept me from installing the LED high beams in our PPV. I didn’t want to cut up the core support.

Is this a PPV, SSV thing? I haven’t looked at the clearance in my suburban yet but my old ltz led fit fine .

Those horns sound awesome, I looked for them but seem really expensive? I might do something like that on my CJ5, that one has an air-compressor (running of the engine) and a 5 Gallon tank already

Should be the same issue with any NNBS Tahoe or Suburban. The radiator support and fenders are the same. IIRC, the light module on a Yukon are a bit different, so many aren’t seeing as many clearance issues.

Depending on what you want out of the horns, there is some give/take. I like LOUD and authentic, so the horns I have are actually from a train.....they are Nathan P3 Airchimes. You can get a new set like mine on Hornblasters for $700-800. Or if you just want the 'startle' loud, you can get any of their kits with the plastic bells for a decent price (ex. Shockers).

Well I would want it to sound like a train... I live in a place where there's no RR tracks for over an hour away, I can see the shock on peoples faces *lol*

I drove past a rr crossing on the way to work this morning. The crossing gate was down and the lights were flashing but no train. Would have been nice to have train horns for that phantom train. make people go crazy. LOL

I've got some stories I could tell.
One thing I'll never do is hit my horns on a Norfolk/Southern employee out on the tracks, their police does NOT mess around.....I know from work experience. Everyone else, including the normal police forces....are all fair game.

I was wondering about laws etc, found this; http://trainhorns.us/articles/are-train-horns-illegal-in-your-state/

My state, NM; https://law.justia.com/codes/new-mexico/2015/chapter-66/article-3/part-9/section-66-3-843/
I guess it is going to depend on the interpretation and/or definition of 'harmonious' *lol*

Since I'm on the business of 9-1-1, I obviously have a lot of LEO buddies. We often joke about "what could I charge you with?", and here in NC about the only citation (besides a noise ordnance) would be "Excessive use of a horn", which is actually a statute here.
The best part is every officer I've demo'd these for absolutely loves them, and I've been involved in several pranks on other officers with them. They've been tons of fun.

Of course I had to read up on this, and there are places in NM with these "excessive noise" ordinances. However, I read a story about a case in Rio Rancho, NM where a woman tried to tell people (with flashing lights and car horn) there was a speed trap, (un)-fortunately one of the people she tried to warn was a LEO, on duty, in an unmarked car, who pulled her over and cited her. Case went to court, her attorney stated that a horn, and to a degree lights, are intended for sending a message to other people, and as such, the message she was sending was protected speech. *lol* the case was dismissed, I guess that judge didn't want to get into that mess.
So now... what about train horns??
Please don't be offended when I completely copy everything you've done to your truck. That thing is looking beautiful. After driving mine to GSO and back 4 times in the last month I'm over the stock suspension and goodyears.

No hate there, I am REALLY enjoying the new setup......man it made a hell of a difference! The truck went from 'fun' and 'driveable' to 'fun to drive'. I don't regret a single thing I did, nor would I change any of it up at all.

Rolled the trash can out for pickup today and the Xenon's looked pretty cool with the mist.
